Reflections on Leaving the Classroom: One Year Later 21:59

for 2 years siden21:59

21:59

We left the classroom a little more than a year ago and are reflecting on what we've learned and new perspectives we have gained as a result of our mental, physical, and emotional distance from the classroom. Whether you're thinking about leaving the classroom yourself or wondering how it feels to have stepped away, you'll want to give this episode a listen. Come find us so we can chat some more!…

Plays to Teach in Your High School English Classroom 19:50

for 2 years siden19:50

19:50

As a teacher, deciding which plays to teach is a rite of passage all its own. Will you stick to the classics or branch out and try something new? Will you transform your classroom into a mini-theater and have students perform scenes? Will you have students read parts or will you show the pretty faithful film adaptation? It's not easy and where you're at in your career, how much you enjoy student performances, and quite frankly how large your classroom is, will all contribute to the decisions you make. In this episode, inspired by Kate's 5th grade son's newfound love of Shakespeare, we talk about the plays we enjoyed teaching (and one we felt a little meh about) and what we liked to focus on in our approach to them. Episode we mentioned: Novels We Love and Hate to Teach Come find us so we can chat some more!…

Is English Class Still Relevant? ELA Skills Students Need 26:37

for 2 years siden26:37

26:37

In this episode of the podcast, we're discussing whether traditional ELA instruction provides our students with the skills they most need outside of high school, or if we're long overdue for an update. We don't think we're out of step with most ELA teachers in saying English classes are in need of an update, while also recognizing there are ELA skills that are still completely relevant in today's society. What changes are needed and who's responsible for making them? Well, there's a lot to discuss there. Come find us so we can chat some more!…

Class Discussion Strategies to Get Everyone Participating 20:03

for 2 years siden20:03

20:03

Ideally, we'd like to have all of our students participating in class discussion. When too many students aren't participating, we start wondering if the discussion is a waste of time or if anyone is learning anything. In this episode, we're talking about class discussion strategies you can use to get everyone in class participating. We've got ideas for those who are shy or lacking in self-confidence, as well as suggestions for those who aren't participating because they didn't come to class prepared for discussion.

What We've Learned from Our Most Challenging Students 22:56

for 2 years siden22:56

22:56

The difficulties posed by challenging students and classes can really wear a teacher down. Our misery will often make us desperate and open us to all kinds of classroom management ideas and suggestions in the hope we will find the magical "cure" to our woes, but sometimes we don't want solutions; we just want to commiserate with those who also know the "challenging" student struggle so we feel a little less alone. Enter this week's dilemma. A teacher in the midst of a "the struggle is real" moment (probably more accurately, "year") wrote in with this dilemma: “I have an incredibly challenging class this year. There are so many behavior problems and so many student needs, and it is wearing me out. I know classroom management strategies, but I think I just want to know that I’m not alone. What did you learn from your most challenging classes?” We're sharing the lessons we learned from our most challenging classes and students. Give it a listen and see if our experiences resonate with your own. Related Content: Looking for some classroom management strategies to help you deal with your most challenging students?

Five(ish) Simple Strategies for Building Reading Stamina 16:03

for 2 years siden16:03

16:03

Do you dread those days when you're expecting your students to read in class? If your students don't like to read: not independently, not collectively, not at all, it's likely they lack reading stamina. They can't stay focused on a text for any length of time, they're easily distracted, and those who are easily distracted distract others. While it may feel like an uphill battle to turn a nonreader into a reader at the high school level, we can make progress by helping them improve their reading stamina. Ever the realists, though, we also think sometimes needs must, and you need to meet students where they're at in order to make any reading-based progress throughout the school year. Check out the FREE First Chapter Friday offer we mentioned to help build interest in engaging books! Come find us so we can chat some more!…

Improving Parent-Teacher Communication 18:03

for 2 years siden18:03

18:03

How do you feel about your level of parent-teacher communication? Is it something you've got down? Is it your teacher superpower? Or, are you like this week's listener, who feels overwhelmed by the level of communication parents (and probably administration) expect and struggles to find time to fit it in to an already bursting-at-the-seams schedule? We're sharing our thoughts on parent expectations, the reality about the amount of time we can reasonably devote to parent communication, and offering up a few suggestions as to how you can manage this important, but time-consuming, part of the job.

Long Time, No Break 17:31

for 2 years siden17:31

17:31

March is, arguably, the worst month for teachers, though October certainly puts up a good fight for itself. We’ve been teaching the same students for eight months, high-stakes exams may be approaching, everyone is tired, and somehow we have a 31-day month WITH NO HOLIDAYS?!?! No wonder the memes and gifs of bedraggled-looking teachers clinging desperately to their mugs of coffee are flying this time of year. If you relate, you are not alone! In this episode, we’re helping a teacher who isn’t sure she can make it to Spring Break by sharing some of our favorite mindset, curriculum, classroom management, and self-care strategies. In this episode, we also mentioned our 20 minute block strategy. Check out this YouTube video (all cued up and ready to go) if you're interested in learning more.

Writing a Research Paper? Try Career Research 25:28

for 2 years siden25:28

25:28

Many students are overwhelmed by the seemingly insurmountable task of writing a research paper and emerging writers often shut down because there's just too much to think about. As secondary teachers with nearly 40 students in each class, we, too, were overwhelmed. How could we make sure our students learned the skills they need to perform research if we didn't create a situation that enabled students to fulfill specific parameters for the assignment? We decided on the two skills we wanted to focus on developing with our students and created an assignment that would give them an opportunity to practice and develop proficiency while also giving them the element of autonomy we've often come to equate with the yearly research paper project. In this episode, we share the career research website we used as a foundational, required resource for our career research activity. Here's the link to the CareerOneStop website for you!

Teaching Writing Can Be a Struggle 18:44

for 2 years siden18:44

18:44

Do you feel like you’re trying strategy after strategy to improve your students’ writing . . . and none of them is really working? You’re not alone. Teaching writing is one of the most challenging (yet most important) things we do as English teachers. There are so many resources and strategies available, and it can be overwhelming to know where to start and frustrating when these highly-touted resources don’t seem to work for your students. In this episode, we’re tackling this dilemma and sharing what ultimately worked for us: a structured paragraph format that reinforced the claim-evidence-commentary foundation that is essential for academic writing.

Have you found a NEW text that you want to add to your curriculum? First of all, congrats! Introducing students to books (they will hopefully love) is one of the most exciting things about being an English teacher! But if this is the first time you’re preparing to do this, you may be wondering where to start when it comes to getting approval from an administrator. We’ve got you covered. In this episode, we’re sharing tips and tricks that will help you successfully get your new text approved by your school administrators (and ensure you’re covered in the case of parent complaints).

Novels We Love and Hate to Teach 18:53

for 2 years siden18:53

18:53

This week's dilemma will be a familiar one for any teacher who has been teaching the same prep for a few years: “I want to change the novels I’m teaching second semester: I need a break from the ones I’ve taught the last few years. Any suggestions on what to add? What to avoid?” We’re attempting to address this week’s dilemma by sharing books we’ve enjoyed teaching . . . and books we haven’t enjoyed teaching. So much of what we choose to read with our students is based on the texts our school has access to, the texts our district has approved, and maybe (sometimes more than others) our own personal preferences. While, spoiler alert, we don't have the magic book all students love to read and all teachers love to teach, sometimes it’s nice to know how a text landed with someone else’s students as we’re making the (hopefully right) decision. What's a favorite novel or play you look forward to teaching each year? What makes you die a little inside at the thought of having to teach AGAIN? Reach out and let us know!

School Grading Systems: Trying to Make Sense of Grades 24:48

for 2 years siden24:48

24:48

Traditional grading, standards-based grading, grade floors, it’s all enough to make any teacher’s head spin. What does a student's grade represent? What does it measure? How do we find a balance between student mastery and effort when we’re assigning grades? We want to reward those students who work hard, but we also want our grades to be a reflection of how prepared students are to meet the demands of college-level work. We’re tackling this increasingly controversial conundrum on this episode, and sharing some strategies we’ve used to account for both student effort and mastery.

How to Reset for a New Semester 24:20

We've all been there before. At some point during the fall semester, the wheels started coming off the bus, the train went off the tracks . . . fill in your favorite metaphor to describe the feeling of losing control of one (or more) of your classes here. You decide the only hope you have for making it to the end of the year is a hard reset. Whether you're looking to refocus your students, or just to stop dissolving into tears as you drive to school each day, we've got some suggestions as to how you can make the best of a situation that has left you feeling hopeless. We've got ideas about classroom management and making your workload more manageable. We hope you give it a listen, even if this year has been smooth sailing and no reset is needed (lucky you!). Here are a few blog posts related to starting a new semester that you may find useful, especially if you're planning a semester reset: Starting a New Semester: Engaging Students with High Interest Lessons Working Through Goal Setting with Students How to Create a Helpful Rubric (includes access to a daily assignment rubric template) Come find us so we can chat some more!…

Teachers Under Pressure: Semester Grades 27:13

for 2 years siden27:13

27:13

Grades. Pressure. Anxiety. For us, these three words were inextricably linked with December (and May) for years. We started to feel the nasty pangs in late November (or late April) and by mid-December (or mid-May), we were complete wrecks! In this episode of the podcast, we’re responding to a teacher who is feeling under pressure to “fix her grades” (as though they are "hers" and can be "fixed") in these last weeks of the semester. We're sharing some tips for how to deal with the situation (and still feel like a good teacher) based on the many years we found ourselves in her difficult position. So grab a mug of cocoa (if it's December or January) or an iced coffee (if it's May or June) and give this one a listen. Come find us so we can chat some more!…
